Back, and the work doesn't stop here
Sometimes I like studying. But usually when its General Equilibrium, or something math-related and interesting. By the way, the CAPM (capital Asset Pricing Model) is an econometric approximation, for those of you that didn't know that about the CAPM. Serious fun stuff. I sort of (with a slight push) derived it last week myself. That is good ( Read more... ) -
Defecting from Valentine's Day
I've pretty much had it with this holiday. With all holidays like this. I'm only 20 and I can no longer stand to give gifts. Especially the ones you're supposed to, as advertised. I've spent the better part of the last half decade coming up with perfect gifts for everyone: parents, siblings, girlfriends. But now I have nothing left. I've always ( Read more... ) -
The Sea has set sail
Sargasso Sea's debut on Wednesday went off as expected: Totally awesome. Sure there are a bunch of things that need improvement, but what doesn't? It was a shame to have the Sound Guy drop the ball as much as he did. We ended up going first for the sound check, so by the time it actually got to us in the show, all that knowledge was lost. But on ( Read more... ) -
January 31st, 9pm - Sargasso Sea debut at Clark Hall Pub
On January 31st, 2007 at Clark Hall Pub, a 9pm show for STAND sees Sargasso Sea make their much anticipated (by the band members anyway,) live debut with a 7-song all-original set.
From the blends of guitar-heavy east-coaster Sailboat Choke, the riffy Pittsburgh indie pop artist Major Major, and southern Ontario Progger Mousencrantz, comes a meld ( Read more... ) -
And it is still as if I see you everyday.
Its always hard to hear about the death of a friend, no matter how distant. I always seem to find out through livejournal. The strangest part of it all, is that from day one, I swore you went to Queen's, because I met your look alike one day, but never asked if you were indeed this girl I keep running into. Katie told me once that you didn't go ( Read more... ) -
Back to the Grind... Again
School started today, beginning my 3rd last term in my undergrad. For many people it sounds like I'm counting down the moments until I step into the working world. But, this isn't true at all. In fact, since Ph.Ds do spring terms most often, this is my 18th or 21st last term, most likely. So I'm not that close after all. Last term was absolutely ( Read more... ) -
New Year's
There is probably a lot I could say, but I think making it short would be better.
Its great to ring in the new year wishing you were home, alone, in bed.
Welcome, 2007. Welcome. -
A New Year
Tomorrow is new year's eve, which means that monday is 2007. It also means that there is a new year's eve party tomorrow. At Katy's place. There will be much D&D, but I'm not sure for how long. I don't play, so I expect to be working on my new song for the majority of that part of the evening. I've finished the chorus and the bridge, but the verses ( Read more... ) -
Still devoted, still searching.
I was told to read this book "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom by my step-mother. She said it was one of the most captivating books she has ever read. She recommended it because I said I read for great characters. I am half-way through, and I can say I am very disappointed. The writing is pretty bad, and the characters are dull. It is a ( Read more... )
